Happy New Year GPA Members!

It’s my great pleasure to step into the role of President of GPA—thank you so much to all of those who have served in this capacity before, especially to our outgoing President Kristen Wescott.

GPA is entirely member led and member driven. As we start a new year, I want to encourage you—among probably many other resolutions and requests for your time—to consider getting more involved in our community of planners. This newsletter provides a great starting point to exploring those avenues, be it speaking at our spring conference, encouraging your organization to sponsor GPA, or getting involved more long term as part of a committee.

I wish you and the communities we serve a great start to 2026. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at any point if you have ideas or suggestions—I’d love to hear from you via email.

Best Wishes,
Allison Stewart-Harris
